The Relay

The Difference Between Coffee and Solidarity (Part 1)

Episode Summary

During this episode, hosts Secunda Joseph & Luke Brawner discuss the origins of both The Relay and its partnership with Project Curate and introduce the shows reimagined roundtable format. Guests Jessica Davenport, Cleve Tinsley and Rachel Schneider sit down with Secunda to interrogate the common idea that if we all “just get along,” the issues of racism and inequity will be solved. As we question and challenge empty calls for diversity and reconciliation, we also consider what substantive, intentional relationships across social difference look like and what they make possible in struggles for justice and social transformation.
